John Mark Mcmillan - The Medicine lyrics

rate me

Driving by those trucker stops

The cheap motels made of concrete rocks

With a hole inside your chest

The size of a city block

And I remember the day

When you said you weren't afraid to die

I don't think your brave for it

I just think your more afraid of being alive

If I had the medicine

I'd give you the medicine

Cause I miss you son

I'd bring you back home if I was the one

But it's four and ten

In the belly of the four AM

And your staring down the weekend

To silence the pain

And I'm wide awake

And there's blood on the promenade

Here's to waking up with that stone between your ribs

And you're lying down again

You just pretend you don't know what it is

When everyone around you says that you're not the one to blame for it

But you're the only one feeling the pain for it

So you're gonna take matters into your own hands

If I had the medicine

I'd give you the medicine

Cause I miss you son

I'd bring you back home if I was the one

But it's four and ten

In the belly of the four AM

And your staring down the weekend

To silence the pain

And I'm wide awake

And there's blood on the promenade
